The package is orphaned but not abandoned. I'm the original author of
upower.c. As it worked for me, there was no need to rewrite it until
the new upower introduced the breakage. I still have the old upower,
and I don't have time to check what's broken.
Anyway, this feels really weird. We've been told that using /proc and
/sys is bad, as those interfaces are unstable and can change any time.
Also we've been told that upower is Teh Stable Interface to use. Okay,
we use it. And now it breaks, while users of /sys don't have any
problems at all.
